When Does ‘A Star Is Born’ Come Out? + Everything We Know About the Film

From the endless glowing reviews out of the film festival circuit to the growing excitement from fans eager to see Lady Gaga shine on the big screen, it's safe to say that A Star Is Born—which is already at the center of early Oscar talks—is one of 2018's most hotly anticipated movies.

The musical romantic drama, which is based on a classic Hollywood film, tells the story of Jackson Maine, a grizzled country star (played by Bradley Cooper) who falls in love with a rising singer named Ally (Gaga), all while trying to help the struggling musician launch a music career — but as Ally's star rises and Jackson continues to face his demons, their romance begins to unravel.

Even before its wide theatrical release, the film is being hailed by critics, especially for Gaga's standout performance and Cooper's deft direction. With only weeks before A Star Is Born hits theaters nationwide, it's likely that buzz for the movie will continue to grow as more details and reviews emerge.
